KPOPALYPSE drinking game

Today a fellow DJ, Mr Adam Mondayitis (who does the radio show before my own, full of weird and wonderful music that is nothing like k-pop and that you should check out sometime), mentioned that he could devise a great drinking game from the Kpopalypse radio show, given that the k-pop I play tends to conform to certain rules and trends. I hastily agreed with him and told him to send me a list. He’s done so, and it’s suitably inspired – I’ve also edited and added to it significantly. Thanks to him and also Millie from the Facebook group for help with this.

KPOPALYPSE DRINKING GAME

MUSIC AND LYRICS:

Your personal ultimate k-pop bias (only one permitted, must be declared before game starts) has a solo part: 1 shot per partEurovision-esque key change near the end of the song: 1 shotCompletely out of place dubstep drop: 1 shot“Oppa”: 1 shot per song“Molla Molla”: 1 shot per songRap part out of nowhere and at warp fucking speed: 1 shotCringeworthy swag/thugged-out spoken song introduction in English: 1 shotCringeworthy aegyo-style spoken song introduction in English: 1 shot if by a female, 2 shots if by a maleNonsensical Engrish chorus or refrain: 1 shot (for each new lyric heard, not for repetitions of previously heard lyrics)Girl group cutely mispronounces something: 1 shot (for each new lyric heard, not for repetitions of previously heard lyrics)Money note: Skull for the duration of the money noteMale group R&B ballad with less balls than your average eunuch: 1 shotRandom-sounding English swearing from a Korean hip-hop artist that suggests that whoever write the rap part had a hazy grasp of the English language at best: 1 shot per swear wordSynth that sounds like an air raid siren: 1 shot (take another shot at the end of the song if the song contained no rapping whatsoever)Astonishing similarity to a Western pop hit from 5 years ago: 2 shotsAstonishing similarity to or blatant sample of an 80s pop hit: 2 shotsWhenever I play PSY’s “Gangnam Style”, “Gentleman” or Girls’ Generation’s “Gee”: Finish the bottle. If the bottle is less than half full, open a fresh bottle and drink that.

GENERAL BROADCAST RELATED:

Complete failure of myself to get my tongue around a band or song name: 1 shotI forward-announce a song and it takes over ten seconds to be audible after I stop talking: 1 shotAnnoying MV sound effects noticeable in the audio stream: 1 shot per songI try to play a song and it won’t play at all: 2 shotsA song stops before the ending for no apparent reason: 2 shotsI mention the Facebook page: 1 shotI mention this blog: 2 shotsI give something away on air: 2 shotsI give something away on air and you win it: Finish the bottle. If the bottle is less than half full, open a fresh bottle and drink that.

EXTRA-MUSICAL FLUFF:

The following count only if specifically mentioned on-air by me before or after playing the song:

Androgynous male in the group: 1 shotAndrogynous female in the group: 2 shotsNotably high-budget music video: 1 shotNotably low-budget music video: 2 shotsMale group have their shirts open in the video for the song: 1 shotFemale group showing unusual amounts of cleavage/sexiness for a k-pop group: 1 shotSong from male group containing member who just started/finished National Service: 1 shotNew song from female group who just ousted a member over some petty crap: 1 shotFemale wearing an item of clothing with polka-dots on it on the CD cover: 1 shotMale group with token female: 1 shotFemale group with token male: 2 shotsGroup played that is currently in the midst of a controversy and this is explicitly mentioned on-air as at least part of the reason for the airplay: 1 shot, or 2 if it’s a cross-group speculative love affair controversy.Plastic surgery mentioned: 1 shotWhenever I play a song hated by the K-pop world and say I like it: 1 shot for a female group, 2 for a male groupWhenever I play a song that I say I don’t really like that much even though it’s by a group that I usually adore: 1 shot for a male group, 2 for a female groupK-pop merchandise mentioned: 1 shotWhenever I mention a controversy and explicitly take the side of either the Korean netizens or Korean music press spreading the controversy instead of the artist I’m about to play: Finish the bottle. If the bottle is less than half full, open a fresh bottle and drink that.

Sage advice courtesy of Adam Mondayitis: For those who actually want to play this game for real, do NOT do this with shots of straight spirits, unless you are Shane MacGowan you will probably die. Do it with sips of beer if you want to get crazy party drunk, or do it with shots of a medium strength liqueur (Cowboys, a Baileys variant, Midori, Tia Maria etc) to get completely fucked in half drunk. Trust me on this, I know as much about heavy drinking as Kpopalypse does about K-pop.

Sage advice from me: don’t play this game. Or if you absolutely must, at least don’t play this game and then ask me the next day where your shit is that you left at the party last night, or what actually happened there. Because I wasn’t there, I went home. Do you think I wanted to put up with your drunken ass singing “Sorry, Sorry” in my ear all night?

And for those of you wondering how a radio show can have its own drinking game – you don’t understand. This is Australia. Mentioning alcohol is the only way we can get people’s attention down here.

About This Blog:

A blog created by me so I can write about k-pop related stuff. Some content is related to the k-pop radio show that I host, but most of it is just random shit that I felt like writing. All of it is primarily for my own personal amusement, although if you like it too, that’s fantastic and I love you. Warning: certain posts might occasionally be considered offensive, so if you are an easily offended fucking cunt maybe go read something else instead, thanks. – KPOPALYPSE
